file save as word 2003 xp pro

Scenario I open a document called test.doc and make a change. I use the file
save as option and call the file test.doc. It doesn't prompt me to
overwrite the existing test.doc shouldn't it?? I belive it did in earlier
versions??

No - if you open a document and use SaveAs to save it with the same name you
won't get a prompt. If you use SaveAs to save it with a different existing
name, you will.

Andrew,
You are correct that in past versions you would get the replace or overwrite
prompt. Evidently this is a change, if you open a file and use save as to
save it back to same file name, Word does not ask. However if you open a file
and attempt to save as another filename taht already exists, you will get
that familiar prompt.

When you open an existing file and make changes, just close the file
and answer yes to the prompt to save changes. Or save your changes,
then close the document. There is no need to go through the steps to
SaveAs the existing file name.

How do I automatically prompt to file a sent message?As a former NOTES user, I've become accustomed to being able to both send and
file an email in "one" step. In Outlook the default is to file the sent item
in the "sent" folder, or the folder in which the original message resides.
I'd like the option of choosing any folder in which to file the sent message
to come up automatically when I send an email.
Any ideas?
See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/setsavefolder.htm for sample VBA code
to do this.

Outlook 2003: Copy Full Names to email display NamesI recently upgraded to Outlook 2003 from 2000.
I believe 2000 used to choose email addresses based on the Full Name
field.
2003 appears to choose based on the Email Display name.
Most of my email Display Names are just the email addresses.
What is the easiest way to copy the Full Name to the email Display
Name?
What do you mean by "choose email addresses?" The Display Name has varied
with each version of Outlook, but it is of no consequence. What makes you
think it is?

Changing default browserHello,
I'm wondering how to change the default browser so when I click on
hyperlinks in Word, Excel, and OneNote they automatically open in Firefox. Is
there a way to do this? Currently they all open in IE, which I have on my

Thanks very much!
This would be a question for a Firefox forum, as Office settings have
nothing to do with the default browser.
However, since I have Firefox.... On the menu, choose:

Excel File Association not workingHi,
One of our users cannot open an Excel file by just double-clicking on

If he opens Excel first, he can browse to the file and open it.
I looked at the file associations for .xls types of files and it lists
Excel
as the program to use to open .xls.
I tried an Office repair, but that didn't help.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

well, an ascii file is a binary file... just the bits happen to be easily

Storing strings in header file via resource file (.rc file) ?Hi:
My application needs to support multiple languages. I'm now planning to
strong strings in multiple string tables in the rc file; where each string
table contains one language. My question is: will it be much simpler to
store those strings in multiple header files? In this case a string can be
used directly without the need to use CString to load each string before
using it.
Please let me know if I'm missing some advantages using the rc file to store
strings.

Depends on what you mean by update. If it's just to add more data to the
bottom of an existing list, open both files, then select the data, Edit/Copy
it and Edit/Paste to the other workbook.
If that's not what you want, can you be more specific?

Generally you would normally open the file in WORKS and then save it
down as a

are all formats it can read. You can also find a converter here if
you don't

Money cannot open this file because it was created by an incompatible

I've tried renaming the file and opening as someone suggested on the group

converted it to 2004 which worked ok.
I then tried to upgrade my new 2004 file to 2005 which failed again....
